Yup, Panaeolus grow allover the world.

do you think it could still be Panaeolus, even when I saw it in Malaysia? Wiki says they are common in N. America and Europe. Are they found in Asia as well? I didn't check it for brusing.

Panaeolus sp. Did it bruise at all? Blue bruising, purple-spored coprophilic mushrooms are hallucinogenic.
